PSU concerns on buying a GTX280

The GTX260 is a decent card, no question. The AMD processor you have isn't a good CPU... It's a broken quad pretty much. I wouldn't bother with it, other than selling it on Ebay. The 6000+ or C2D are much better choices.. Or a Phenom II.

yea ill prob upgrade when the prices go down and when i saved enough money because like i can buy it now but my dad wants me to put cash in the bank which i haven't since Christmas plus what would i do with the x3? just throw it away lol. Also is that y my computer wont boot when i my mobo on autom. Let me explain that my motherboard has auto overclocking Low med high. and on low i over clock too 2.7ghz but when i do Med the computer only shows the mobo screen then goes black.

There is nothing wrong with that equipment, WildGene. It is just not designed for overclocking to the extent you wish.
As for Toms Hardware, nobody is perfect. But Toms Hardware and AndandTech have some of the most thorough equipment reviews that you can find and trust. Nothing is hidden. The recommendations are balanced and fair.

Thank you, you made me feel alot calmer about my computer haha so basically im going to put 40 bucks aside every week for a new processor and get the quad core amd. Hopefully by then the price will go down majorly. Also i have been referring to toms hardware because i heard it was a very good place for reviews but i never heard of Andandtech.
